Hazard And Nadeau: Student Analysis
In Hazard and Nadeau’s (2012) Foundation of Learning they describe academic self-concept as all the feelings and thoughts that might affect you as a student (p. 24). They also comment that families play a major role in our academic self-concept. Hazard and Nadeau (2012) say, “for some families, college is just a natural progression in the educational process… on the opposite end of the spectrum, viewing college as a natural step after high school many not necessarily be the stance all families take” (p. 27).

What I am plan to do to prepare for dead week is keeping up with homework. Keeping up with homework by starting assignments early. Some bigger assignments that are due that I will start early are, the Proponent/Opponent essay for Writing 121, as well as the upcoming program 5 for CS 161. For Math 095, I am going to give time for studying for my chapter 7 test that is coming up this Friday, as well as the final exam. A study strategy that seemed interesting and I will employ is the Pomodoro technique. Study for 25 minutes and then take a five-minute break, and every 4 Pomodoros take a 20-30-minute break. Another time management strategy that I will try to deploy is Flex time. Which consists of drafting a weekly schedule with all of your activities. This way, you can see the time you have available to work on homework and studying. In it you also make room for your leisure
